Oil in my exhaust system

[Johndow305]

Hi guys, hope somebody can help me really going through a big scare. I have a Yamaha ex sport 2019. jetSki with 85 hours have done two oil changes never change spark plugs, but this weekend went out and got something stuck in my propeller. I tilted the jet ski over to untangle under the safety guard when I went to turn on the JetSki I had smoke gut scared turn vessel off. But then realized there was oil in the water .. I had the jet ski tilted over towards the right side facing forward I believe for about 20 minutes. I did not wait long enough I think. How can anybody help? Any suggestions? Work can be the problem took out my exhaust pipe please any advice any ideas? Any recommendations as great? Currently raining haven’t taken off spark plugs wat can I do

You mean there was oil in the water of the lake?

Sounds to me like you just leaked oil out of the dipstick when you turned over the ski, and it got all over the engine and into the water. Smoke was the oil burning off the engine. Probably had a nice blue tint to the smoke.

I would recommend a) get a nice bottle of engine cleaner and some rags and clean off as much oil as you can (you probably won't get it all), 2) check the oil level and refill to the recommended level. Then go run the ski for a bit. It will smoke some as the last burns off, but as long as you don't have too much there it should be fine.

I saw someone flip a ski over to clean out the intake grate and I cringed damn jet skiers are nuts. unless they add my magic steering and they don't get thrown off in high speed turns just saying.

First you are nuts to not change your plugs yet on a 6 year old ski. Should be changed every year 2 years at the most. I have seen them break off in the head. The threads area is only like 10mm wide.


Change the oil/filter properly and your plugs. It should be just fine
